Mort is reporting that Leinart has been told that he will be released today.

Derek Anderson last year: 44.5 comp pct, 4.9 yards/att, 3 TDs - 10 INT, 42.1 rating. What if he starts like that this year? The backup is undrafted rookie Max Hall. 3rd stringer is 5th round rookie John Skelton. Are they really going with one of those guys? I like Whisenhunt, but I think he really dropped the ball on the QB position this year.

Whisenhunt was quite complimentary about Max Hall, saying he was the best of the three in training camp. I agree though, he left himself with few options, though I believe he probably thought Leinart was going to be ready and be better than he was.
